Be it known that I, FREDERICK I. FRIED- LINE, of Little lRock, Pulaskicounty, Arkansas, haveinvented certain new and useful Improvements inRadial Car-Puller Sheaves, of'

which the following is a speciiication.

The object of this invention is toprovide an apparatus by means'of whichpower can be applied to draw aload or obj ect from any direction toacertain Xed point, the ldevice being generally used and particularlyadapt-4 ed for moving cars or loads from dierent directions to set themin a certain desired posi-l tion for loading or unloading.

The invention consists generally in various constructions andcombinations, all as hereinafter described, and particularly pointedIoutliln the claims. d f n t e accompanyin rawings, orming part of thisspeciiicatiofgi, Figure 1 is a plan view of a radial car-pullerembodyingmy insame. Fi .'3 is an end view looking toward the edge o thesheaves.. Fig. 4 is a vertical section showing the manner of mountingthe oscillatin sheave on its support.

This construction forms a pivot for thehousing of the upper sheave, allowing it to make a complete revolutionon the base 2. lI pre-- fer to provide lugs 13 on the housing 5 ,whereinantifriction-rollers '14 are mounted and ada ted to rest and travel upona iiat curved tractL 15 on the surface o f the base-plate 2.

tween it and the sheave 6, through the hole 10, and up Over thesheave 6to the load that when the directionof the load- The device is used withrope or wire cable car-pullers, `the rope or cable leading out inany-direction tothe cars or load. It is usually placed on the groundbeside the track with the cable leading out of the elevator or building,through the sheaves, and up or down the track tothe cars.. i I claim asmyinvention- 1. The combination, with a base-plate, of

a housing rigidly secured to the vunder side-v u i thereof, a sheavemounted therein, a second housing pivotally supported onA the upper sideof said base, a sheave carried by said second housing, and a cable forsaidsheaves.-

2. The combination, with a base-plate, of a housing having a suitablesheave secured to one side thereof, a second housing, a hollow studpivoted in said .base-plate and wherein said'second housing is securedonthe side of said plate o posite from said iirst-named housing, a seave for said second housing, and a cable for said sheaves.

3. A radialcar-puller comprising a plate, a housing rigidly secured toone side thereof and having a suitable sheave, a hollow stud having 'aflanged lower end loosely fitting volve with said stud and having asuitable sheave, and a cable extending from a suitable source of powerand passing under said first-named sheavev and through saidhollow l studand up over said second sheave to thev load, substantially as described.

4. The combination, with a base-plate, of sheaves mounted on the Iup erand under sides' thereof, and one of saidp sheaves being swiveled,substantially as described Inwitness whereof I have hereunto set lmyhand. FREDERICK I. FRIEDLINE.
